With GABRIEL TABASCO q life: with GABRIEL TABASCO An Interview with Laurence, our loveable Nudist I came across Laurence’s profile while scrolling through twitter one afternoon. I had always found public nudity and exhibitionism a turn on and admired people who could be so comfortable, and natural, in their own skin. Quite literally only in their own skin while out and about and ‘owning it’. From his Twitter feed I could deduce that he was an Australian, with a sunny personality living in Berlin and a nudist. He did everything in the nude and did it quite well. If it was intentional to make men like me (and women) horny while scrolling through his feed then he succeeded at it. If not, then it was an added bonus and point to him. I was intrigued about him, his finding the photos and scenarios sexy, and wanting to know about his motivation around it. And so I reached out to him with my questions. Tell us a little about yourself. Thanks so much for interviewing me Gabriel, It’s a great honour. Let’s start off with the simple stuff. I’m Laurence, 33 years old and I grew up in Melbourne, Australia. I’ve been working as a web developer in Berlin for over two years now. This is my second time living in Berlin. I initially came as part of an exchange programme for my University and was meant to be here for just one semester but stayed for a whole year. Living in Berlin showed me that while Australia is a great, sun-kissed country, it’s also isolated and can be very backward. So when I graduated from University, I knew that I wanted to move overseas again and explore more what this amazing world has to offer, as well as push and challenge myself. I did the typical Australian thing of selling everything you own, saying goodbye to all your family and friends and starting all over again on the other side of the world. I ended up in Berlin because I wasn’t interested in living in America or the UK. And thankfully I was very easily able to get a working visa here. How did you get into nudism? Actually, Berlin and Europe played a very important part in this. Let me explain a little bit about myself first. I grew up in a typical Australian family, going to a catholic school and struggling during my adolescence with my being bullied at school, dealing with anxiety, as well as trying to accept sexuality, plus feeling ashamed of my body. So when I was in the locker room at school or at the pool, I would always cover up. I loved swimming and as a young adult I swam in order to stay fit and healthy. When I first went European (swimming in the nude) by myself when I was 24. I read about a weekly swim night in Amsterdam. It took all my courage to go and check it out. I was so nervous, and couldn’t look anyone in the eye. It was the most amazing feeling finally shredding off my speedos and finally swimming in the nude. The experience sparked something. Throughout my journey around Europe, bit by bit I kept challenging myself to get naked at beaches. It was when I finally arrived in Berlin as a tourist during this trip, I went to a normal swimming pool. I went to the sauna with my speedo, which I found out very quickly by a mother who was there with her husband and two children that this was a huge no-no in their culture. I had to bare it all or leave. I said to myself, I am in a forgein country, no one knows me here, so just go change into a towel and relax. And I am extremely grateful that I did it. By the end of the night, I made a friend in the sauna who I still see these days in Berlin. Coming back to Australia, I tried to seek our nude beaches and discovered this nudist festival that is sadly no longer happening. I randomly went with this guy I just started dating as one of our first big dates. It was a challenge to both of us. This was just over a month before moving to Berlin for university. When I came back to Melbourne after my year abroad, one of the first things I did was to join Melbourne's World Naked Bike Ride. It was the most surreal experience cycling around my own city in the nude. I still remember standing outside Flinder Street Station in the complete nude, surrounded by 150 other cyclists, completed or near nude and with a huge group of onlookers. I was nervous and exhilarated at the same time. It was the best home-coming experience. Living over in Europe has shown me that we shouldn’t be ashamed of our bodies, instead we should celebrate it. For example, the saunas over here in Germany are co-ed. Genders mixed together, sometimes as a whole family. At the end of the day, we are all flesh and bones, and we shouldn’t be made to feel ashamed of this. On your Instagram page you mention that you are ‘In love with the Freikörperkultur (FKK) movement’. Can you tell us a little about that? Freikörperkultur, or FKK for short, is German for Free Body Culture. According to Wikipedia it’s ‘the joy of the experience of nature or also of being nude itself, without direct relationship to sexuality.’ To me, it was about meeting others, learning how to be better connected to your own body, and how to form strong friendships with others without it being complicated by things that society may normally tells us as gay men to be judgemental of. By meeting people through FKK, I learned how not to judge others by how they look, instead find out who they are. By removing sex and sexuality, FKK helped me open myself up where I would normally be too scared of being naked on fears of being rejected or feeling shamed of how I look. Where and when are you nude the most? This depends on where I am and the time of year of where I am living. It’s almost summer here in Berlin, so right now I am naked a lot on my rooftop terrace. As many of us are now working at home, I am working on my terrace a lot with my laptop. I mostly put on a t-shirt for any video conferences. After work I try to cycle to one of the two parks that has a dedicated nudist area. And on the weekends I try heading to one of the many lakes that you can strip down. Another great place to be naked is at the sauna at my gym or at the relaxation centers. If it wasn't for the saunas here, I wouldn't be able to survive the cold, dark winters. Hopefully next year I can do more trips around Europe and America and do some more nude trips. Hiking, camping, more World Naked Bike Rides in multiple countries. You’ve posted images and videos of your adventures nude at Amsterdam Pride. What was that like? I went to Amsterdam Pride, the year I was studying in Berlin. It was my first time, and I was staying with a female friend called Lee who works as a tour guide, and lives with some other guides from the same company. At the end of Pride, Lee and her friends encouraged me to strip off for some cheeky Pride photographs on the canal. I had an amazing time, but I don’t know what the tour boats made of the whole thing. When I moved back to Europe, Lee invited me to stay with her again. She knew I wanted to go to be naked for the whole of Pride, or with as little clothing as possible, since public nudity is not legal in the Netherlands. The company she was working for has an office overlooking the canal where the boats go by. They have this great party with many of the other guides as well as their friends and family. So when I came to the office, my friend introduced me to the boss of the company who agreed that it was alright for me to be naked in the office any time I wanted. In the streets however, I had to be more careful. So when it was safe, or when it was really crowded, I would take off my cock sock and party around naked. My friends didn’t care, and they were supportive. It was such a different experience to my first naked Pride. In Amsterdam, my friends were by my side the whole time, and never felt uncomfortable once by my nudism. In fact, one of the people living with Lee, the housemate’s brother and the brother’s best friend were also with us. So I was partying with a bunch of straight men and women, none of them either told me to get clothed. The straight guys were really encouraging the selfies with random people, and they also jumped in for many playfuk photos. What other Prides did you attend naked? Whilst travelling Europe in 2017 with my then boyfriend, we happened to be in Madrid for World Pride. Two hours before the parade started, he found there was a nudist group marching in the parade, and encouraged other nudists to meet up.

  • BBC Learning English Weekender World Naked Bike Ride
    BBC Learning English Weekender World Naked Bike Ride Jackie: Hello, I'm Jackie Dalton and you're listening to Weekender with bbclearningenglish.com. Do you enjoy cycling, taking your bike out and getting some exercise or fresh air? What about cycling with absolutely no clothes on? Well, I've never tried it myself, but hundreds of people all over the world have, and they think it's lots of fun. This weekend, the World Naked Bike Ride takes place. People in cities from Vancouver to London will be getting out their bicycles and taking off their clothes. The question is: why? Conrad Schmidt is the man who's linking up cyclist groups from around the World for this event. He spoke to me over the telephone from Vancouver and he's going to give us some answers. What reasons does he give for the naked bike ride? Conrad It's about getting a message out there that cycling is good for people and it's good for the planet and that if we're going to be sustainable, we've got to think about other things besides car culture. And just making a happier, healthier planet. Jackie: Well, Conrad said cycling is good for people and good for the planet. He uses the word sustainable – a word we often hear in connection with the environment. It means to do things without causing damage to the environment. A nice phrase he also used was 'getting the message out there', which means making sure people know, or you could also say 'making people more aware' – Weekender © BBC Learning English Page 1 of 3 bbclearningenglish.com 'aware' – a word that Conrad will use next when talking about climate change.

  • World Naked Bike Ride Day a Seasonal Lesson Plan by Shannon Felt
    A Wild Ride in Portland: World Naked Bike Ride Day A Seasonal Lesson Plan by Shannon Felt www.TeachingHouse.com Teacher’s Notes & Answer Key Level Upper Intermediate + Lesson Aims Learners will practice reading for gist and detail and will practice discerning the meaning of new vocab from context. Approximate 45-60 minutes Timing Notes to the World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) Day is really more of an event than a holiday. teacher The official date varies as different rides take place on different days around the world, but it generally occurs in June or July. This lesson focuses on the event in Portland as it claims to be the largest. It supposedly began in 2004 and has been growing each year. The official motto is “bare as you dare,” which means that while nudity is encouraged, it is not mandatory. The goal of the holiday also varies slightly according to the event, but the Portland maintains that it’s mainly to raise awareness about dependence on fossil fuels and encourage positive body image. The article used in this lesson focuses partially on the Portland World Naked Bike Ride overall and also on the author’s feelings about participating for the first time. The article is from The Atlantic so the language is a bit advanced. I’ve adapted it slightly, though mainly just by cutting out a few paragraphs for the sake of length. A caution: since this lesson does center around the idea of public nudity, some students could be uncomfortable/offended (there are a few bare backsides in the picture connected to the article which could be removed or covered).

Prime attention is given to the images that women publish as self portraits. From a genealogical perspective, we examine the politicization involved in a new set of practices, diverse but recent, and how they impact on current redefinitions of beauty standards and criteria defining what is considered to be obscene.

Increasingly distant from the typical 19th and 20th centuries forms of modesty and including fields that range from advertising and video clips to the visual and performing arts and the self-portraits that multiply through the social networks of the web, showing naked bodies seems to be the latest fashion. Furthermore, a wide range of women are taking up a certain kind of activism spurred by the younger generations, exhibiting their nudity in the name of a multiplicity of “noble” causes, whether ecology, reproductive rights, freedom of expression or respect for cultural difference.
